Chinese artist Huang Yulong's 2020 sculpture 'Top Dog' is being offered for sale through NextStreet Gallery in Paris. The limited-edition aluminum work, measuring 80 × 50 × 30 cm, is hand-signed by the artist and includes a certificate of authenticity. Huang, born in 1983 in Anhui Province and a graduate of the Jingdezhen Ceramic Institute, is known for his sculptures of Buddhas in hoodies that blend Eastern tradition with Western contemporary style. The work is listed on Artsy with a price-on-request basis.
This listing highlights the ongoing market for works by the 'post-80s generation' of Chinese artists, who are gaining international recognition for their fusion of traditional Chinese motifs with global pop culture. Huang's inclusion in Complex's '25 Contemporary Chinese Artists You Need to Know' and his exhibition history at venues such as the Himalayas Art Museum and the Gwangju Biennale underscore his rising profile. The sale of 'Top Dog' through a Paris gallery reflects the growing cross-border demand for contemporary Chinese sculpture.
